Discussion WesternAnimation / HazbinHotel

The example in question, from YMMV.Hazbin Hotel:

• Vanilla Protagonist: Charlie is sweet and good natured but can come across as dull and one-note compared to the other characters, particularly compared to Angel Dust’s self-destructive spiraling or Alastor’s status as a Hidden Agenda Villain.

I don't see it either. She's silly and cartoonishly expressive and energetic, not exactly "plain" or "mild", which is what Vanilla Protagonist is supposed to be. This comes across more as expressing a preference for darker/angstier characters. It was also written just after the first four episodes dropped, so couldn't have taken into account any of her later development.

Gonna remove it, citing this thread. ETA: done.

Yeah, Charlie doesn't count. The fandom loves her and finds her adorkable and endearing, not boring.

Not to mention that the sharp contrast between Charlie and the rest of Hell is actually what makes her feel unique as a character.

Vanilla Protags are meant to bounce off of other more interesting characters to help make them more interesting, Charlie is the other way around.

I second Rezkel's proposal. If there comics, then that should probably be its own page.

On another small note the current page contains the line

"In life, Angel Dust was an addict who overdosed on the drug he's named for in 1947, resulting in his death."

I'm a little unclear how this can be the case, since PCP- the drug known as Angel Dust...wasn't even invented until 1956.

Thirding. Most the tropes should be from the show itself.
